Matchbox Advent Calendar Idea – Just Believe

14 years ago

“Just Believe” has to be my favourite Kaisercraft collection of 2012 and most definitely one of the most elegant Christmas ranges for 2012.

I had to make a keepsake from it. I do not have much storage space so any of the other Advent Calendars would not be suitable. This advent calendar made from 24 matchboxes measures 7″ high by 5″ wide so it’s not large, small enough for a little surprise in each drawer. This type of project has been around for many years now and is still very popular. I chose to make the matchboxes from scratch as I could make them a little bigger to allow me to use the beautiful number stickers Kaisercraft have released in this range.

Just Believe - Advent Calendar Peace, Love, Joy

I hope I have inspired you with this matchbox advent calendar idea to make your own. Stock up on this beautiful Just Believe paper range, it won’t be around for long.

Thank you for all your kind comments about my Advent Calendar. The dimensions are as follows:
Each matchbox (and there are 24 of them) is 1″ high, 1.25″ wide, 2.25″ deep. The top and bottom chipboard pieces measure 5.5″ square and the one in the middle is 4.75″ square. There are a few Matchbox Advent calendars available on the Internet as well as templates to create your own matchboxes should you not want to pain existing ones.
Happy Crafting
Bridget
